Cloud Surrounds
State’s Admission
Nebraska’s admission to the un
Nebraska’s admission to the un
ion as the 37th state—just 86 ye
ars ago this March 1—was ac
companied by a great deal of
controversy both nationally and
locally. On the local scene of
the -most heated controversies
involved “the ballot box that
went to dinner.”
In 1866 Nebraska’s voters were
called upon to approve or re
ject a state constitution drawn
| up by the territorial legislature.
If the constitution met approvall
it would be presented to con
gress as the basis for admitting
the territory as a state; if reject
ed statehood would be postponed
Territorial republicans strong
ly favored statehood and enthu
siastically nominated a slate of
candidates for state offices to
take over When Nebraska was
admitted. The democrats were
opposed to statehood but decided
they had better go ahead and I
nominate candidates for state of- I
fices just in case.
David Butler of Pawnee City
was the republican nominee for
governor. Opposing him on the
democratic ticket was J. Sterl
ing Morton, one of the most
ardent opponents of statehood
for Nebraska. Butler and Morton
conducted a vigorous campaign,
Morton was one of the ablest
stump speakers Nebraska has
produced, and he had the assis
tance of Goerge Francis Train,
brilliant and witty Omaha pro
moter and world traveler. Butler,
though, was no mean debator
and he made the campaign a hot
one.
This first state election was
very close, and for a time, be*,
cause of poor communications
the outcome was in doubt. It
became evident, however, that
the election was in the hands of
the canvassing boards rather
than the voters, and particularly
the Cass county board.
The action of the board gave
Rock Bluff— now only a ghost
town—a degree of permanence
in Nebraska’s political history.
Vote there was 107 for Morton,
50 for Butler. The Cass county
canvassing board threw out the
entire vote because the poll "book
and tally list had not been cer
tified correctly.
At the same time they al
lowed the vote of the strong
ly pro-Butler Plattsmouth pre
cinct even though its returns
were certified in the same way.
There was another element
in the Rock Bluff action, how
ever. Election judges had’closed
up shop during the noon hour,
and in order to protect the bal
lot box one of them had taken
it home to dinner with him.
there were many charges as to
what hapened to its contents
during the diner hour. Whether
true or not, the procedure was
highly irregular.
The Cass county action was
decisive in determining the re
sults of the election. The voters
approved statehood and David
Butler became the first state
governor. The Cass county vote
also tipped the scale in the leg
islature in favor of the repub
licans, and enabled that party
to elect Nebraska’s first two
United States senators.
